Abstract: An apparatus and a method for providing a standby screen image of a mobile terminal are disclosed to change a standby screen image in a story-telling manner according to a communication event or a usage amount of the terminal. The method for providing a standby screen image of a mobile terminal includes: displaying a standby screen image of one or more themes; and changing the displayed standby screen image in a story-telling manner according to a usage amount of the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the operation of the mobile terminal are provided. The method includes displaying an idle screen; if a communication event occurs, displaying an avatar image corresponding to a party of the communication event on the idle screen, the communication event including making or receiving a call and sending or receiving a call; and modifying the avatar image according to the amount of occurrence of the communication event. Therefore, it is possible for a user to easily recognize the occurrence of a communication event and the amount of occurrence of the communication event from an avatar image displayed on an idle screen.

Abstract: There is provided a plasma display device. The plasma display device includes a plasma display panel (PDP) and drivers for supplying driving signals to the PDP. The driver includes a capacitor, a first switch turned on in order to supply a voltage of a first end of both ends of the capacitor to the PDP, a second switch turned on in order to supply a voltage of a second end of both ends of the capacitor to the PDP, a first voltage supplier connected to the first end of the capacitor to supply one of a sustain voltage and a reference voltage to the first end, and a second voltage supplier connected to the second end of the capacitor to supply the reference voltage to the second end. A voltage difference between the both ends of the capacitor is sustained as the sustain voltage.
